Newbie. What does total actual rent mean?

Hey guys! I’m really trying to read and watch everything I can on investing. Recently I have been analyzing (on paper) 3-5 properties a day just for practice. On Zillow, under more info, it states “Total Actual Rent.” Is the total actual rent the rent of each unit or is it the total rent combined for the two units. I live in NJ and I’m a analyzing in NJ, the property I’m currently running is ~500k with 13k taxes and it says total actual rent $2820. Basically my question is the total rent in this two family house 2820+2820 or is it 1410+1410?

    It sounds like the total rent for the whole property is $2820, whatever that breakdown is between the units. It doesn't mean each unit is rented for exactly $1410.

    Thank you Paul! Yea seems like this property would be netting a high negative ROI. Appreciate your response

     Total rent would be indeed $2820. I'd be careful with what's stated as total actual rent. I would ask the seller for proof of such rents just to cover yourself. I've seen the information be inaccurate sometimes. Always check your rent comps for further verification!

    @TJ Giudice Total Actual Rent sounds like it is the total rent roll for the building, not per unit.
